best day ever!

not because it's christmas even though that's always good.

it's the best day ever because i woke up sober...again.

just like every day since september 8th, 2009.

sure....some of those days have problems but to steal from jay-z....i got 99 problems but a drink ain't one!!! lol.

and i owe it to this board and the angels that are here every day. god bless the people that make this place happen because they sure blessed me.

if i can do it...anybody visiting here can. you don't find this place because you wouldn't mind quitting an annoying habit. you find it to save your life! and you get the added benefit of it being a much better life.

love to all on this holiday. to any contemplating quitting...give yourself (and your loved ones) the best gift ever...sobriety.

david.

Sounds like you're no longer fallen, man. I'm Sept 2010, a year behind you and feel the same. Well said!

lol. technically i am no longer fallen but i sure was. and i don't ever want to forget what vodka did to me. that avatar is what i looked like every single night when i 'fell asleep' (passed out) on my living room sofa.

my oldest son's friends gave me the nickname of the thinker. how embarrassing for him to put up with that.

kudos to you itchy. it's great isn't it?

Yup! Recovery is great because of the lessons it teaches. We can never be the same, only wiser. I thought I had lost my mind. Then I realized that I wasn't losing my mind, alcohol already took it away. I am just picking up the pieces and trying to put them back together again. Some of the pieces are missing. So I get to make new ones that fit in the whole.

That would make for a good Hova remix. Congrats on 2+ years!

I live about 100 miles south west of Orlando. It's beautiful right now. In the 80's. Can't say as I am hating the warm weather either. It doesn't have to be cold for me to enjoy Christmas. Especially now the I am sober.
